Every year, on 24 May, gamers celebrate World Video Game Day. It was on this day in 1972 that the world's first commercial game console, Magnavox Odyssey, was presented under the leadership of Ralph Bayer and a small group of people.
Many video game enthusiasts may not know about this date, but it is significant in the history of video games, as it marked the beginning of gaming. This console was the impetus for other developers to carve out a new niche in the market, creating new game consoles and video games for them that were popular with people, including children, teenagers, and even the older generation.
Over the 52 years of its development, the gaming industry has evolved a lot. Gaming has experienced times of crisis and stagnation, recovery, evolution, and revolution. Home stationary and portable consoles are still popular among people, although they are still in progress with PC gaming, but they have their own target audience.
So, we congratulate you, gamers, on this date and wish you enjoy your games!
